I have experience with online relationships and having friends who are in one or have had them, I know the highs and lows that can come from being in one, especially long distance. I have been online for five years and met many people from different cultures.

How to Have an Online Relationship - A second online relationship

Question
Hi. I am twenty two years old. When i was nineteen,i was in an online relationship for around eight months. The guy was one year younger than me...and in a distant city. We exchanged numbers, e-mails but after the first two months his attitude completely changed. I tried making things work out but he wasn't intersted. So we broke up. Now, after almost one and a half years, i like someone...but i met him online too and i don't know whether i should do anything about it. He's been in a lot of relationships and i fear He's become cynical about things like love and happy-ever-afters. He was busy with work...but he sent me a message saying he misses me. But the funny thing is,when i asked him for his number,he said he was going to change it,so there wasn't any point in 'dishing' it out. So i told him that its okay...as even i'm going to join college and shift to a new city in a month's time. Then he said ' so basically what you mean is there is no point in us missing each other'. I didn't get what he was trying to say. help! does he like me? or should i move on?

Answer
hi vanessa,

thanks for your email,

im glad you are wary about online relationships but dont let one bad experience spoil it for the others you may have in the future.

take things slowly and if you feel that he isnt being honest with you or you have a 'gut' feeling something is just not right, then dont be afraid to confront him or just break it off all together.

maybe this guy is just as wary  about you as you are of him.

what im trying to say is, be cautious and take each person as you find them, dont judge them on past experiences and enjoy your time online. if this man doesnt make you happy then he is probably not right for you. if your concerned that he isnt genuine enough then he may not be the right one for you.

good luck
vanessaoz
